Prager Handgriff
Schlagende Wetter

When I try to describe to friends the music I tend to like, it inevitably gets interpreted as "German techno." As in, "Oh, heard any good German techno lately?" Or "Hey, you like German techno. Have you heard that song by blah blah blah..." It's a catch-all phrase that allows them to categorize a range of genres and subgenres neatly, never mind that it's about as accurate as calling someone a country-music fan because he listens to Bob Dylan.

However, when I listen to Prager Handgriff, I sometimes think, Yeah, this is probably what they imagine I listen to. It fits their stereotype--stiff, pounding rhythms; deep, gruff vocals; everything done with machines. Hell, it fits my stereotype of EBM or "German techno" or whatever else you want to call it.

And it always makes me think of Dieter.
